Summary:
This book is about Little Red Chicken wanting Papa to read her a bedtime story. Every time Papa begins a story, Little Red Chicken interrupts which ends each tale rather abruptly. This is a wonderful story to read children! In my classroom, I could ask my students to think of a well know story such Cinderella or Snow White. I will then ask them to change one thing at the beginning of the story then think about what that change made, which teaches them cause and effect. I could then ask them to write the story down and illustrate it. This is a great book to read to ages 5 and up.
